Well, live tossed my father one hell of a Curve ball over the last year and its a home run as far as I am concerned. He left his job as the VP of Finance a year ago at the University of Portland to work for USD in San Diego, they would not give him a contact and St. Martins has been bugging him about becoming the schools President. Tuesday he took the job at St. Martins, no announcement has been made yet. This means moving him from San Diego to Lacey. I know very little about the area, a few friends went to the school, and now its my turn. I am considering starting school there in the next year or so. We will see what happens. :p


So whats up there? :p

 

damn your going to be right in with the olympia crew

 

lacey isnt too big of a town...but its not way out there too. i would say you will have to come to seattle or tacoma to have some fun though.

*btw, i'm sure you meant LIFE instead of LIVE and also, why is curve ball in capital? =]

 

I'm in the lacey area. its a nice area but it can get kinda boring if your not into a lot of outdoor activities. But that's why Seattle is close by! St. Martins is a nice place, and I've had a few classes there.

 

I have until august to decide. Little clause in my tuition will be I would have to live with my folks

 

whats happening to your place near canby? y r u goin back to school? rnt u like a genious lol

 

Well man figure Oly is like a mini Portland. Small clubs, some good places to eat.
Lots of hippies....lots!! Cool laid back atmosphere and pretty well set for heading out to Seattle or Tacoma.

The car scene is a lil shaky..probably like everywhere else there are car clicks for sure but the overall atmosphere is supportive. Don't even ask about street racing...and as far as auto-x/drifting/drag racing there is plenty of support and tons of events.

Speed shops are seriously hit and miss....some like 'em some hate 'em.
I wont get into that but just watch your back if you buy local.

Outdoors stuff is great fishing/hiking/camping/boating/shooting etc...

Hope that helps a lil.
